I don't even know where to put this... but doesn't she speak Chinese and have some sort of Chinese connection? Saw a video on the internet of her in China playing with some Chinese banjo guys and speaking a little Chinese.

[edit] Cooperation with Øystein Sunde

I don't know where to put it, but Fleck appeared on norwegian singer Øystein Sunde's 1989 record "Kjekt å ha", together with many other bluegrass heros. The only sources I can find are in Norwegian, like this: [1]. At least the lists of musicians are useful to you. Is this useful information?

[edit] Discography

I added a partial discography -- it seemed as though one was in order -- but I'm not wedded to the format of it at this point if other people think it would be better to organize on a strictly chronological (or alphabetical or something else...) basis. Obviously, additions would help, as well.Adbarnhart 19:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Discography looks really good. I was planning to do this myself but just as well that I didn't. --Peter (Cactus Pete) 13:39, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

What about his appearances with the Dave Matthews Band (most notably on Before these crowded streets)? - Bookmastaflex11:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Added references to his work as a sideman and noted several of his '05 projects. Feel free to move stuff around, I don't know if you want it where I put it-Isaac Benaron 12:27, 15 January 2006

This section could use some more cleanup, especially for consistency (record label names, etc). I like the organization by who he played with, but maybe it would be a good idea to take most of the minor collaborations and put them under a single heading. It might be cleaner than having lots of headings with only 1 or 2 entries each, if an appropriate style is used. -- Fru1tbat 13:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Some of these albums he is clearly a guest or session musician while on others he is part of one-off trio, quartet, etc. -Acjelen 22:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Info box

Is the intention of the musician info box field "label" to be a list of all record labels that have released recordings by the musician or just the current label he is signed to? -Acjelen 18:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Studying french horn in high school.

I met him and asked him about the french horn and he said he couldn't play it very well. --131.91.236.30 00:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
